Episode 72 - Two Going On Ten

Episode 72 - Two Going On Ten

A comfortable win over Ayr United is the main topic of conversation this week, a massive win for the league table and one where the score more than flattered the opponent. A quick news round-up following up on points raised last week, before looking ahead to this coming Saturday and previewing Morton away, and surely it will be eighth time lucky?

Episode 70 - I Was Saying Boo-ing Boo-ing

Calum, David, and Enzo discuss whether Saturday's draw against Partick Thistle should be considered a point gained or two dropped.

Episode 69 - A Lilongwe Away

Episode 69 - A Lilongwe Away

Another week, another podcast and Calum is back with David & Enzo after a week off to move to the other side of the world! Thankfully though he was able to stream the 1-1 draw away to Airdrie and is able to give us his take on the game. In an otherwise relatively quiet week, we discuss QP Women's latest point in SWPL2 which sees them get even closer to lifting the league title. Finally, it's a look ahead to this coming weekend, and the visit of Partick Thistle to Hampden Park.

David and Enzo are joined by guest pundit Gregor, filling in for big brother Calum, to discuss a positive performance despite defeat away to Dundee United before enjoying a recap of the 6-0 pumping of Arbroath. We also round up the latest news around the club, including another big win for QP Women, and Gregor gives us some insight into his work with the QP Foundation. Finally, it's a look ahead to Airdrie away, an opponent we haven't beat in 90 minutes in a frighteningly long time...

Calum, David, and Enzo sit down for an in-person episode (with a fair few drinks) to discuss the goalless draw against Morton at Hampden, while begrudgingly admitting that they're good at what they do, as well as looking forward to Queen's Park's upcoming visit to Tannadice.

Feb 19, 202401:05:19
Episode 66 - The Don Thomas

Episode 66 - The Don Thomas

The guys are back to discuss a triumphant week for all things Queen's Park. We cover the 3-0 win away to Dunfermline, QP Women winning by 12 (TWELVE), alongside our usual match preview and news round up. It's looking ominously optimistic all of a sudden...

Feb 14, 202457:30
Episode 65 - Pint of Big Dunc Tears Please Barman

Episode 65 - Pint of Big Dunc Tears Please Barman

The Spiders return from Inverness with another win over the Highland side, in a game that will go down in history as one that took place, so there's not too much for the boys to get into apart from the usual good feeling a win brings. Instead, we take a look at the January transfer window incomings and outgoings, and we hear from Matt from the Holding The High Line on what Danny Wilson has meant to Colorado Rapids for the last five years, and what we can expect him to bring to QP. Finally, as always we look ahead to the next game, which this week is the third attempt to take on Dunfermline at East End Park.

Feb 06, 202401:12:40
Episode 64 - Snap Back To Reality

Episode 64 - Snap Back To Reality

David, Enzo and Calum are back after a short break due to the Dunfermline game falling foul to the weather. Unfortunately it's not a happy return as we have to review the 2-1 defeat to Ayr United from last Saturday. We briefly manage to talk about some better things, like the latest QP Womens result, before it's back to worrying as we have our transfer deadline wishlist and a look ahead to the trip to Inverness this weekend.

Jan 29, 202401:00:37

Episode 62 - New Manager Bounce

There has been plenty going on around Queen's Park recently, and we sit down this week to discuss it all!

Jan 09, 202401:44:19
Episode 61 - Seasons Bleatings

Episode 61 - Seasons Bleatings

The boys are back after a break over Christmas, the day after a brutal injury-time winner for Airdrie in the latest Championship match, which may have had an effect on our morale going into this one. Plenty of games to talk about, a look at 2023 as a whole for the mens team, but finally a little bit of good news as we also discuss QP Women's season so far and the upcoming Scottish Cup game at Lesser Hampden.

Dec 31, 202301:10:53
Episode 60 - The Veldman Era Ends

Dec 12, 202301:32:12
Episode 59 - The Beuker Era Ends

Episode 59 - The Beuker Era Ends

There may have been no game last week, but that doesn't mean there's nothing to discuss.

Episode 57 - Run Enzo, Run

After a week off that some may call a mental health check, David, Enzo and Calum are back to discuss the brutal defeat to Raith Rovers at Hampden that some of us couldn't even stick around to watch. In much happier news, we have fitness updates on two key players to discuss, and we also hear from Ellie Kane, captain of Queen's Park Women, on a fantastic season so far for the team and herself personally. We round off the episode with a look ahead to this weeks Scottish Cup 3rd Round tie against Partick Thistle.

Episode 55 - Paton Anytime Goalscorer

Episode 55 - Paton Anytime Goalscorer

Another week, another podcast, and thankfully another improving performance to discuss, this time the 2-2 draw with Partick Thistle at Hampden but it really should have been more for Queen's. Not much other news to discuss this week aside from a (relatively speaking) boring draw in the Scottish Cup 3rd Round, before looking ahead to a trip to Somerset Park to take on Ayr United.

Nov 01, 202301:08:20
Episode 54 - Friday Football Boing Boing

Episode 54 - Friday Football Boing Boing

It feels a bit like 2022 again as David, Enzo and Calum bounce from one Friday game to another, reviewing the 1-1 draw against Airdrie before looking ahead (rather nervously) to this weeks Glasgow Derby with Partick Thistle at the home of Scottish football. And speaking of being nervous, they also take time to discuss the Marijn Beuker to Ajax move which appears to be days away from being confirmed.

Oct 25, 202301:12:09

Episode 53 - The Calum Ferrie Show

Episode 50 - DisastAyr

Episode 50 - DisastAyr

It was a poor showing on Friday night as Queen's Park went down 5-2 against Ayr United with some comical defending, and unfortunately that means David, Calum and Enzo have to relive the game in all its "glory". There's a look around the Championship including a very interesting managerial appointment in the Highlands, and of course a look ahead to the latest upcoming match, a nice easy trip to Tannadice as we aim to avoid five defeats in a row.

Sep 27, 202301:18:33
Episode 49 - A Pars-ical Return to Hampden

Episode 49 - A Pars-ical Return to Hampden

The boys are back from their summer holidays and after a quick recap of the SPFL Trust Trophy victory over Bala Town and thoughts on next round opponents Falkirk, it's into a poor 2-0 defeat to Dunfermline as Queen's return to Hampden. However, there's not too much time to dwell on the poor performance, as this Friday we host struggling Ayr United at the National Stadium.

Sep 20, 202301:03:51
Episode 48 - Out Of Office

A pun-filled start to lift the spirits before going back to recap the 3-2 defeat away to Raith Rovers, the usual weekly news rundown and then of course looking ahead to a new opponent in Bala Town in the SPFL Trust Trophy 3rd Round. A match that will be watched around the world!
